An Election Held With Armed Men at the Poils, Wrswoop, I.T., August 14.—A runner ar- rived early this morning, after traveling fifty miles from Stonewall, reports that a row was narrowly averted yefterday at that place, and hostilities were only prevented by the superior forces xt the commond of Gov. Byrd, who so overawed the disfranchised whites that after some display of arms they prudently withdrew. Stouewall was the largest voting place and was the center of interest in the election, Both the candidates for governor—Sam Paul and Wm. Byrd—were at the polls all day. Each had a large number of men at his back, Paul's supporters were the disfranchised whites. while the fuil bloods and most of the half breeds were for Byrd. The latter also had 114 militia under his pay. Everybody was heavily armed and when the poils opened matters looked serious. Gov. Byrd brought the militia about the polls, form- ing acircle about it. ‘The first squaw man was peleced the privilege of voting and retired. The whites gathered their forces and for a time it looked as if they meant battle, but Byrd with his militia stood firm, and the whites, seeing they would be worsted in the fight, left, and Byrd and his militia ran things to suit themselves and even prevented Indians from voting whom they knew were for Paul. The result of the vote was: 106 for Byrd and 6 for Paul and 15 for Burris, independent. Enough is known to assure Byrd's tion and the success of the so-called Indian party, but their election is bound to be contested. EXPLOSION IN PROVIDENCE, Two Fatally Hurt and Ten Seriously.

Difficulties Arising Out of Col. Robert's Course of Action. AN APPEAL TO CONGRESS IGNORED. __ Commissioner Hine called at the White House yesterday afternoon and left there a letter to be delivered to the President upon his return from Boston. It transpired today that the letter was Mr. Hine’s resignation of the office of Commissioner of the District of Columbia. Knowledge of Mr. Hine’s action was confined today to only afew people, At the District buildings not even a rumor had got abroad among the officials andclerks of any impending change. Mr. Hine, it is stated, did not make known his intention to resign to any one, but after delivering his letter at the White House con- sulted one or two of his friends who had inter- ested themselves in securing his appointment as Commissioner, Mr. Hine today informed his colleague, Mr. Douglass, of tho stepfhe had taken, but others at the District buildings were not informed of it. WHY HE RESIGNED. Mr. Hines’ resignation is due in a large meas- ure, it is undorstood, to the differences that have arisen between the Engincer Commis- sioner and the civilian Commissioners, The situation was such that Mr. Hine, it is stated, considered it best that he should with- draw, as it was unpleasant for him to remain. MR. L. @. WINE. In his letter to the President Mr. Hine stated that he felt constrained to tender his resigna- tion, as he regarded it of extreme importance that entire harmony should exist among the Commissioners of the District. He also asked that his successor be named as soon ca the President's other duties would permit. DIFFERENCES, The differences that have arisen from time to time among the Commissioners have been made public. Anefiect was made by the civilian Commissioners about the Ist of July to remedy what they considered a defect in the plan of government, and what has caused considerable friction, This isthe provision in the organic law for assigning two officers of the engineer corps as assistants to the Engineer Commis- sioner, These officers, to whom is intrusted the su- pervision of a large share of the work dono under District appropriations, have been prac- tically independent of the Commissioners asa board and subject only to the orders of the Engineer Commissioner. The civil- ian Commissioners prepared a bill to so amend the law as to make these officers assistants to the Commissioners instead of assistants to the Engineer Commissioner. This Lill, though presented nearly six weeks ago, has never been reported from the District committee, to which it was referred. The fail- ure of Congress to act on this measure, which the civilian Commissioners thought would better the state of affairs at the District buildings, ie one of the reasons why Mr. Hine resigns. The differences and unpleasant relations that have arisen between Mr. Hine and Col. Robert, growing out of the lattcr’s activity in the de- partments of work assigned to other Commis- sioners, have been well known, as both gentle- men have frankly spoken their views. All of these matters combined to bring Mr. Hine to the conclusion that it would be better for him to leave office, a conclusion that may have been expedited by the fact that Mr. Hine has private interests that demand his at- tention and has been invited to resume, at a salary much larger than that of a Distriet Com- missioner, the presidency of acompany which he resigned when he was appointed to his present office. Mr. Hine today when spoken to by a Stan reporter was disinclined to talk about his res- ignation for publication, He said ‘he thought his friends who had presented his name to the President and to whom he felt under obligation would be satisfied that he was right when it was all explamed. THE SITUATION FROM MR. HINE’S STANDPOINT. A friend of Mr. Hine, familiar with the rela- tions existing among the Commissioners, give a Srar reporter to understand that Mr. Hine’s resignation was undoubtedly directly due to the action Col. Robert has taken in many mat- ters and to the unsatisfactory condition of the law relating to the assistants to the Engineer Commissioner. Col. Robert, it was stated, thought he had a mission to perform, but, un- happily for the harmony that should provail at the District buildings, this mission did not re- late to the ngincering work of the District, but extended into fields assigned to his civilian colleagues. Then the preseat organization is such that Mr. Hine considered it too great a finan- cial risk to remain in an office where he was re- sponsible for work and for large expenditures over which he had no control. This fimancial risk, Mr. Hine considered, increased when the engineer officer did not give personal supervision to the work of his department, but gave his time to matters usually left to the civilian Commis- sioners, Mr. Hine, too, has strongly objected to Col. Robert's methods, which he has spoken of as those of a detective, and he has expressed his disapprobation quite strongly. COL, ROBERT'S INVESTIGATIONS, Col. Robert was appointed Engineer Com- missioner in February and soon after his ap- pointment began taking a much more active interest than has been customary with the Er- gineer Commissioner in the management of the police and in the issuing of liquor licenses, Mr. Hine’s objection to Col. Robert's investi- Ration in the police department, which is di- rectly under Mr. Hine’s supervision, was that Col, Robert went into matters that occurred years ago and which should be buried, THE CLIMAX. The trouble in the board of Commissioners came toa climax July 2 last, when Mr. Hine frankly stated ina board meeting his belief that the Engineer Commissioner had nothing whatever to do with the administration of local affairs, except those of an engineering char- acter. After this fora time there was s threatened deadlock in the business at the District build- ings, as Col. Robert declined to affix his name to papers relating to other than duties, but the matter was for the time appar- ontly arranged amicably. The civilisn Commis- sioners, it is stated, hoped for favorable action Officers would willingly serve as subordinates to civilians. The long delay of action on the bull has led to the opinion at the District build- ing that it is opposed by army influence. WHAT COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS SATS. Commissioner Douglass, as stated, was in- ormed of Mr. Hine’s action today. To a Stan reporter he expressed much regret that Mrz Hine had felt constrained to resign. “I do not know,” he said, “where we can find another man to fill the place so well. He has been an admirable Commissioner. His coolness and fairness and his knowledge of the people of the District have been of the greatest value. To me, of course,” Mr. Douglass added, with a smile, “this is a seri- ous matter, for it is of considerable concern toa man to know who his bedfeliow is going to be.” Speaking of the bill rogarding the engineer Officers, Mr. Douglass said the bill shouid pase and it was a shame that Congress had neglected itsolong. It was the system, he said, and not the men that he objected to. Both Capts. Ros- sell and Lusk were fine men, but it was on anomalous state of affairs whon the District Commissioners practicaily could have nothing to say about the District work. COL, ROBERT'S PROPOSED REFORMS. In this connection it is interesting to note that Col. Robert proposes to make an effort to change theform of the District government That is the information a Stan reporter ob- tained at the District Building today. It is said that the colonel will shortly appear before the House committee on the District of Colum- bia and present his plan and urge its adoption, Col. Robert's plan and the one he will urge before the House committee when the bill is taken up, is to make the engineer department of the District separate institution di- rectly under the War Department. He will urge this: First, on the ground that it prop- erly belongs to the War Department, as much 80 as the care of public buildings and grounds, and secondly, that more work can be done under such an arrangement than at present, If this plan does not find supporters the colonel has another differont from the first in that it leaves the engineer department ex- actly where it is, save that the Commissioners are to have no control of it, and all expendi- tures will be made subject to the order of the Engineer Commissioner or one of his assistants, who will be direetly responsible for them. sm i ae sa PHOTOGRAPHERS’ CONVENTION.

The District Commissioners Disagree as to the Conduct of the Case. DOUGLASS AND ROBERT VERSUS HINE—MR. RAZEL- TON BEGINS HIS ARGUMENT, CLAIMING TmaT THE CHARGES AGAINST GUY HAVE BEEX svs- TAINED—MB, CLAUGHTON REPLIES. The evidence in the Guy trial was all finished at the morning session Tuesday, and when the adjournment was taken that day it was until1 o'clock this afternoon, with the understanding that the lawyers should then proceed with their pleading. There was not a large audience present this afternoon compared with the attendance on days when interesting and sen- entional testimony was expected. There were several prominent lawyers present, however, to listen to the efforts of thi legal brethren. The testimony in this case is very voluminous and the record covers 500 typewritten pages, When Mr. Hazelton began his argument he said he had tried to present as succinctly as possible the charges and testimony that he thought would sustain them, (COMMISSIO: MINE'S POSITION. ‘The three Commissioners sat in their usual chairs behind tho long table in the board room and listened to the arguments of the lawyers; that is to say, two of them did. Mr. Hine, who has taken a stand on the matter of how this trial should be conducted entirely op- posite to that of his colleagues, sat back in his big arm chair smoking a cigar and care- fully reading over one of the records of the tris Afterward he laid the record down and id closer attention to the lawyer's words. . Hine on y rend bis opinion on what he thought should be done with the testimony that Col. Robert received in his private investigation of the police force, as was told in Tue Sran that even- ing. He held that the Commissioners keopers of “state are not property the secrets” and that what one of the Commis- sioners might know would have any bearing on the trial of a man situated as Guy is should be made public at the request of the attorney for the defendant. Mr. Douglass and Col. Robert took the oppo- mite ground in the matter. MR. HAZELTON READ HIS ARGUMENT, which made quite a volume of typewritten mat- ter. He began by announcing what violations of good order and discipline were comprised in the charges against Lieut. Guy, and then made an exhaustive review of all the testimony that went to sustain these charges. He read the names of the various witnesses for the prosecu- tion and .gave a brief summary of the testi- mony that each one gave. Especial attention was given to the testimony of Sergeant Burgess apd Shburiand and the episode of the attempt made oy Shurland and Madox to make a case against Mrs. Boyd, who, it was understood, was keeping an improper house. Mr. Hazelton said that while Maddox in this case has given testimony directly opposite to that he gave in the Shuriand trial several vears ago, if either testimony was worthy of credence it was the testimony that he gave in the first case, for at that time the circum- stances were fresher in his mind. Now, Mr. Hazelton eaid several years had elapsed, and moreover he insisted that the Commission- ers should take into account the fact that Mad- dox had great interest in Guy's acquittal. He also referred to the testimony that Guy had given himself with reference to the matter of the Masonic symbols and claimed that the testimony he had given on different occasions did not agree by any means. Mr. Hazeiton said that if Guy had given the order to Shurland and Maddox about making a case ugainst Mrs. Boyd,as the testimony hes gone to show, theng GUY WAS GUILTY OF OUTRAGEOUS CoxDUCT in bringing charges against Shurland and having him removed from the force for obey- ing the very orders which he himself had given. He also held that Guy had shown him- self an incapable and inefficient officer in that he did not break up the policy shops of Riley and others in the third precinct. Mr. Hazelton said that there could be rea- sonable doubt that Guy did give the order to Shurland and Maddox, and that he congratu- lated himself ou the success of his undertaking until public feeling was aroused to such an extent over the disgraceful methods used that he considered it necessary to immolate a sub- ordinate in order to save himself. ‘The testimony of ex-Lieut. Arnold and others was also discussed by counsel. MR. CLAUGHTON FOR THE ACCUSED. In rising to begin his reply Mr. Claughton said that he wished to makea few remarks with reference to the statement that has been made WHAT WILL THE CAUCUS DOY Anxiety of the Friends and Opponents of the Election Bill. A BELIEF THAT THE CAUCUS WILL ADOPT TRE QUAY RESOLUTION—ROTH SIDES WORKING ARD TODAY—POSITION OF THE FRIENDS OF TEE RLECTION BILL, The republican Senatorial caucus is to meet tonight to consider the Quay resolution, and this has been « day of intense anxiety to many men in Congress, The men in both parties are suffering the throes of doubt aud suspense. ‘The democrats are occupying « passive posi- tion, while the two factions in the majority party are working with all their might Hoar and his followers in the Senate have been work- ing with Speaker Reed and the members of the House who are anxious for the passage of the federal election bill and there has beew « bat- tle of the conflicting ideas waged earnestly all day. ‘The prevailing idea is that the caucus to- night will edopt the Quay resolution. Thie idea is entertained in the form of fear by friends of the election bill and there is a very general scare, Mr. Hoar has been restlessiy conferring with his friends in the Senate and passing back and forth between the House and the Senate, while republicans who are understood to be in the deal and those known to bein it bave bees holding conferences by twos and threes with th democratic lenders and talking the matter up with their own colleagues who are not yetoom- mitted. An immense amount of work is being done on both sides. One weapon being used with which to fight the Quay men is a threat to strike at some of tho Pennsylvania interests in the tariff bill i= retalfation upon Mr. Quay. Indeed. it ts threatened oven that if the federal election bill is defeated its friends will see that the tariff vill gets no better treatment. There is no power in the hands of the friends of the election bill which will not be exercised to save it, at whatever cost, The fight isa desperate one on their part, made with the be- lief that it will fail. In fact almost the only opinion heard ex- Pressed at the Capitol is that the Quay resolu. tion wil: be adopted and that the election bill is dead. Most of those who are in favor of the resolution are men who would vote for the election bill if they got a chance, but who be- lieve that it cannot be passed and do not want to endanger the tariff bill by further delay, There will bea hot fight in the caucus to night, and the indications are that the resole- tion will be adopted or that no action at all will be taken, the whole time being consumed in the battle of words, In either event it is expected that the com- mittee on rules will report the resolution te- morrow, and that it will be passed through the Senate.

H. Cabell Williamson, for Samuel T. Luckett, has filed a bill for divorce from Kate Virgima Luckett. The parties were married in Docem- ber, 1887, in Fredericksburg, Va, the maiden |name of the defendant being Delzell. He j@hages her with undue intimacy with L. T. Bail. Infidelity and desertion are the grounds stated on which the court is asked to grant am absolute divorce a Caught by a Finger Nail. From tho Pall Mall Gazette. “Caught—by a finger nail!” How does that sound for the title of a shilling dreadful? The burgiar who broke into Rimmel's perfume fae- tory at Neuilly the other night caught his fin- ger nail as he was scrambling in, and left so much of him ou the window sill, The police went round with that nail as the emissaries of | the fairy prince went round with the glass | skpper, and it fitted a young man employed as a number of times in the course of | messenger in the factory, Iu the fece of this this trial, that the Commissionors had | damning evidence the young man jumped oat the right to discharge Guy without | of a sixth-floor window and broke his meck. the formality of a trial and that the trial was a kindness conferred, in return for wkich Guy should be correspondingly grateful. He suid that while he did not deny that the Commissioners had the power to remove any officer arbitrarily the question of right was an altogether different matter. He held that the power to discharge rested upon the very grant of the power itscif, which grant reads that dismissals might be made when the public interests so demand. Whether the pab- lic interests demanded the removal of Lieut. Guy or not was the very thing a trial was nec- essary to decide. If the Commissioners had telt sure all along that the interests of the pub- lic demanded his removal then it was their duty to remove him without the mere formality of a trial. Mr. Claughton did not read his argnment nor did he uso notes, He began by saying that charges of a most serious character had been brought against a man who hed alwaye discharged his duties. as an officer most —faithfully, or so at least many of the best citizens of Wash- ington had come before the board of their own accord to testify. Iu referring to the shame and obloquy that would atiach to an innocent mam were he convicted of such offenses as Guy is charged with, Mr. Claughton drew a pathetic picture of the condition of Guy's young wife and child were he convicted, thong an efficient and innocent officer. Dur- ing this part of the speech Lieut. Guy was vis- ibly affected and his eyes filled up with tears, SCORING THE WITNESSES. Mr. Clanghton continued and gave the four witnesses—Block, Burgess, Arnold and At- chison—a most thorough raking over, and said that their testimony was based on melice and personal aggrandize- ment. He said that charges had been brought against Guy, Gessford and Boteler and that it was clear to anyone the reasons fo! this. Arnold would fill one of these vacancie: Buryess, the senior sergeant, would legally suc- ceed to another.
